well i've been practicing more and more, and my moves are getting more and more solid which makes me veeery happy hehe. ugh we're doing track and field in PE so my legs are wicked sore, but i shred two hours yester day, but i cant shred today due to soccer practice but thats fine..i guess :cry:. another thing 've been getting into is this crisis in Darfur, i really want to do something so i'll try at the mall. Maybe have a rally outside my school, but idk how well the teachers would like it.. :roll: but still i think someone shoud do something here instead of sitting on our (relatively) rich asses here. Raise awareness people! ah well, glad friday is soon!!

Hey Robert,

You can always ask Peng to make a Maki bag for you with the green hex in the middle. That would be soooooooo choice! :o With her new stitching style, I'm sure it's going to be better than the one I have with me here.

Well my hania bag didnt come today so i'll hafta get it on saturday sunday :'( cuz im not gonna be here thursday, friday, saturday incase anyone cares

Well a 1 hr and a half shred today pretty good just drilling the basiscs but my butterfly is getting wayy better and it'll definitely be good soon, dk about swirl though cuz i havent even started that but i still need legover pickup and a little mirage so i shouldbnt get too far ahead of myself

Well school, even though im getting a's is going weirdly/annoyingly my social studies and math teacher flipped out on us today and like were insanely repetitive, what they said was true, but hearing if you dont study you're failing the state assesment 50 times in two classes definitely sucks thank gos they're not going on out eigth grade trip tomorrow which should be cool i guess, im roooming with my freinds but we're seeing lexington and concord tomorrow :( *booring* but we're seeing six flags and stuff and going to plymouth so it should be ok i assume.

Robert, patience is a virtue. Don't get so frustrated over a late bag. Hania is very consistent with her orders, so don't vent toward her about this shipment.

I'm sure the bag will get to you sometime. I've done business with Hania before, and everything was super fly. :o

well im happy with my self for the week in general i took my usual one day off on the weeks and shred for the rest, i know this is definitely the way to always be advancing (instead of what i used to do..2 steps forward 1.5 steps back) and im glad my left clippers and butterfly are definitely stronger because of it and my leg-over is better and im workin on the left side of that and my pickup so its going very well alot of my friends have seen me hit "insane" runs i.e. Mirage>Leg-over>butter fly and once legover> mirage> butterfly so that really boosted my footbag morale. and also it means some of my freinds are trying to get into footbag its great i had a 15 minutes "Shred" session (he could only hit 3 consec.) with a kid and i was like wow this is sweet, im good enough for people to notice it and try their hand at footbag so im on a bit of a footbag high now :) alrighty then, now im off to play music!

had a really enjoyable 1 hr 30 min shred today but the mail didnt come so idk about my hania :( but if anyones ordered from her in the us, how long did it take to get to you (aprx.)? but my butterflies are coming on and maybe stepping set soon, but once i've got the main four tricks down, i need to work on my sets!!! i havent even payed attention to them at all, and i need to work on them before i fall behind on them! im just totally enjoying footbag right now, like i didnt want the shred today to end im glad im surrounded by a bunch of nice people and stuff, and i just love how its really become part of my life! ahh good mood today!
